How to Make Easy Peach Bread Pudding
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare the Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Place bread cubes in the baking dish. If using day-old bread, let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb more custard.
Step 2: Make the Custard Mixture
- In a bowl, whisk together milk, heavy cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Pour the mixture evenly over the bread, pressing down slightly to soak the bread.
Step 3: Add the Peaches
- Gently fold peach slices into the mixture. Drizzle with melted butter for extra richness.
Step 4: Bake the Bread Pudding
- Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon (optional for extra sweetness).
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, until golden brown and set.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
- Let cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm with whipped cream, caramel sauce, or ice cream.
Serving Suggestions
- With Whipped Cream – Light and airy contrast to the warm pudding.
- With Caramel Sauce – A sweet drizzle makes it extra indulgent.
- With Ice Cream – Vanilla or butter pecan ice cream pairs perfectly.
- With Powdered Sugar – A simple dusting enhances the sweetness.
Tips for the Best Peach Bread Pudding
- Use Day-Old Bread – Slightly stale bread absorbs the custard better.
- Don’t Overmix the Peaches – Gently fold them in to keep them from breaking.
- For Extra Crunch – Add chopped pecans or walnuts on top before baking.
- For a Boozy Twist – Add 1 tablespoon bourbon or rum to the custard.
Storage Instructions
- Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Warm in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes or microwave for 30 seconds.
- Freeze: Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw before reheating.
